[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#911189: gpgme-json packaging

I have tested https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gpgme/-/merge_requests/1
and it works fine.
I would however name the new package gpgme-json, not libgpgme-bin

The package is only providing gpgme-json(1). If it is going to ship
more binaries in the future, it can always be replaced. If someone is
told they need gpgme-json the expected package name is 'gpgme-json',
not libgpgme-bin. Plus, that lib prefix is even more confusing.

Even the description (“This package contains the gpgme-json binary to
access GPGME...”) seem to ask for that name.

That is the only nitpick I have. It "just works". :-)

The debian/changelog would need updating, and rebased on top of gpgme
1.18 (bookworm/sid) from the current 1.14.
